...CUISINE Say so long to the chilies and blue cornmeal of the Southwest and to the Northwest's oysters, salmon and brambly herbs. The regional cuisine of the moment is dubbed "heartland," the bland and stodgy meat-gravy-and-potatoes fare of the Midwest.

Since then, factions vying for control of the regime appear to have increasingly used executions as a political weapon. "Do you think we should greet with sweets those who ((helped attack)) the Islamic Republic?" asked President Seyed Ali Khamene'i in a broadcast earlier this month.
